It's just as stylish as the SMEG but not nearly as expensive. If you do a yahoo image search for "retro fridges" one of the 1st pics that comes up is of an appliance store in NYC. Out from is a SMEG next to a Gorenje. I called the store, based on the neon light in the window, and the woman basically told me I was crazy. “Joe,

And there will be plenty of pics as my fiance and I are both avid photographers. :) Now I'm on the hunt for a fridge (new that matches the theme) and some pendant lights for above the sink. Pam,

I like the early American decor of the dining area in the background too. That has to be the “coolest” refrigerator ever in kitchen #1!

My boyfriend allowed me to do the bedroom in pink, but the kitchen.... It'll just have to be a figment of my imagination. The refrigerator center is the first time I have ever seen anything close to what my mom had in our home in Illinois. I try to explain that it was a turquoise colored fridge that was like upper cabinets, but no one had ever seen that before.... Oh, the memories... Love it, Love it, Love it…. My boyfriend allowed me to do the bedroom in pink, but the kitchen…. It’ll just have to be a figment of my imagination.
